Thanks to those who read and reviewed! Here's another chapter…

Kay walked to shop two weeks later with Michael, her designated walker for third period. She loved shop. Not because she was the only girl but because it was something she was good at. She liked working with tools. Her mom never knew where it came from because she sure as hell couldn't fix anything. So she assumed she got it from her dad or maybe it was a natural talent. She strolled into class knowing almost every guy in the room was looking at her. Hell, the only guy not looking at her was probably Greg and that was because he swung for the other team. Oh, and of course there was Pogue who was looking pissed off, as usual, just like he has been for the past week since he and Kate had another argument.

"Hey, you okay?" she asked as she put on the jumpsuit for class.

"How would you feel?" he snapped. He stilled hadn't really warmed up to her yet. Caleb still didn't trust her so why should he. This could be the Chase thing all over again, he thought.

"Okay fine, minding my own business." she snapped right back.

"Okay listen up, it's that time of year again boys." the teacher stated

Kay coughed out loudly.

"And girl," he said with a roll of his eyes. "You are going to put the engine in front of you together, the fastest one gets extra credit." He explained. "Now if you break the record held by our very own Mr. Parry here." He said putting a hand on Pogue's shoulder, looking proud. "You get an A for the semester. Now stand at your assigned table. You will be timed when I say go."

Ready.

Set.

Go.

They all worked as fast as they could. Just when Pogue thought he had it in the bag, DONE! echoed throughout the class room. He looked around and found that it was Kay who had said it.

The teacher walked up to her table with a surly face. The only girl in the class couldn't have done it, he thought as he searched the engine. He had some talented boys probably some of the best in the town but he had never seen a girl walk into this class let alone excel at it. "Uh wow she did it. Hold on, Smith, grab me my book." He continued to look at the engine as he waited to feel the leather book in his hand. He opened the book, "And she broke the school record. Guess I underestimated you" he said with a surprise smile on his face.

Pogue was still in shock by the time the bell had rung. 'She used I know it. There's no other way she could have done that'

She walked into her next class ecstatic. She sat next to Tyler with a huge smile on her face. She couldn't wait to tell him, she didn't know why but he was the first person she thought of when it happened.

"What's got you so happy?" Tyler asked, smirking at her elated expression.

"I still can't believe it happened." She said still smiling.

"What?"

"I –"

But she never got to finish because class started so she said she'll tell him later. They were sitting down looking at all of the pictures everyone submitted when the picture Kay took of Tyler showed up on the screen.

"Now I have to say this group probably was the most original out of the class. The titles fit the picture perfectly and the report was thoroughly written." The teacher exclaimed approvingly. "The first is Kay's photo of Tyler it is titled "A Difference among Peers"." The picture was of a faceless crowd wearing identical clothing of black and white with Tyler in the middle wearing an orange shirt and his blue eyes shining brightly.

Tyler was trying to catch her eye but she was deliberately avoiding it. He wanted to ask her about it. He wanted to know why she thought he was so different from everyone else.

Just then the teacher put up Tyler's picture of Kay. "And this was titled "Beautifully Broken Angel". This time it was Kay's turn to be shocked. It was a picture of her in the position Tyler put her in but he had added long white wings. The background looked liked cracked concrete. She looked alone and guarded. She looked how Kay felt the year before she arrived here. Could it be that she still acted that way and he could tell?

"Do you see how they…" the teacher's words in one ear and out the other for both Tyler and Kay

Kay didn't know what to say. They both looked at each even as the bell rang they sat motionless. "So you think I'm beautiful, huh." Kay joked breaking the tension. She reached down to grab her bag as Tyler did the same and they both left for their different classes deciding to talk about it later.

They didn't see each other till 7th period English which she had with Tyler, Reid, and Pogue. Pogue sat next to Reid and told him about what happened in Shop. Pogue was certain Kay had used. After English class Pogue grabbed Reid and Tyler telling them to get Kay and meet him in the empty class room across the hall. Tyler didn't know what was going on but followed suit still confused.

As they got to the room Kay didn't think anything of it. Maybe they were finally accepting her she thought fleetingly.

"So what is this the first meeting with the additional new member of the Sons of Ipswich," She started as they were securely in the room. "By the way, we're going to have to change that. I might hang out with a lot of guys but there's no way in hell I'm being called a Son. Maybe like the People of Ipswich, nah, how about the Gang of Ipswich. Yeaaaah." Kay stated. Tyler laughed openly and Reid tried forced back the smile that was forming on his face.

Pogue however was in no mood he wanted to get to the bottom of this. "Why'd you do it?" he asked simply.

"Do what?"



"You used during shop didn't you? That's how you beat the record." He accused. Tyler looked at Pogue in confusion he didn't know what was going on.

Kay had had it. She had been so proud of herself for actually breaking that record then to be accused of cheating. She couldn't believe this shit. Before she could stop herself Kay's anger got the best of her.

All the desks around them started shaking. Kay's eyes didn't even have to turn black. She lifted up her hand and the teacher's desk in front slammed and crashed against the wall on the other side of the room. They all jumped in surprise. "That was me using" anger trickling in her voice.

"God" she yelled. "Do you know what it's like to be here? I had to leave my life behind only to come here to find out that my father had died and to search for a brother that doesn't even know about me, let alone care. Only to be judged by his stupid friends who can't think for themselves for once and give me a chance. Caleb is hardheaded and stubborn. I sensed that right when I walked through the door and maybe I expected this from you Pogue since you his second in command. So maybe I expected a little bit of skeptics from you. That's why I took all the bull you've been giving me since I got here and I did it for Kate. But you Reid the person who butts heads with Caleb the most for using. Your one of the most careless people I know and you have the nerve to even try to look down on me even if I did use!"

And then with a look you can only describe as disappointment she stared at Tyler. "I guess I was wrong with the photo I submitted in photography, you're not different at all… you guys can keep your stupid group name. I don't want to be a part of it." She scoffed as she walked out of the classroom and without even a glance back she flicked her wrist and the teachers desk was back in one piece in front of the room.

Tyler was shocked. He didn't even know anything about this. He knew he couldn't talk to her now without her freaking out on him so he decided to wait till later and he will go to her dorms.

Reid felt like crap not only for the fact that she compared him to Caleb but that she was right. He ran after her.

"Hey" she ignored him. "Hey". He repeated again.

"What?" she yelled.

"Look I'm sorry for what we did back there."

"Yeah I'm sure" sarcasm dripping through every word. She turned back around and kept on going.

"My dad died too." He said barely above a whisper and with that she stopped.

"I know what it feels like. I never got to know mine either and it sucks so I'm sorry for judging you so quickly and I never apologize so I wouldn't take this lightly." He faintly joked.

She had a ghost of a smile on her face and said thanks.

"If you ever want to talk about it or whatever I'm here" he tried to reach out again. What she said was getting to him. He's been in her position before. Getting accused for using when you didn't isn't fun.

"Talk, I don't know how good that's going to turn out seeing as I'm not exactly Caleb's favorite person right now."



"Since when do I listen to Caleb," he stated with a sly smirk. "So I'll see you later?" he asked.

"Yea, see you later" she said smirking back.
